   They had my favourite, hard to find, sin tubu chigae broth! Happy shopper.

   It’s not flashy. No neon buzz. No Instagrammable shelving or curated playlists. Just a small Korean convenience shop with that lived-in vibe—quiet, familiar, no-frills. The kind of place where you walk in, know exactly what you’re looking for, and somehow leave with a few extra things you didn’t expect to find. No, it’s not Wang Mart. You won’t find a warehouse of options here. But you will find those oddball essentials Wang Mart doesn’t carry—the pain patches your mom swears by, that one kind of barley tea, the exact brand of sesame oil you didn’t know you missed until you saw it again. The shelves aren’t overflowing, but they’re honest. Stocked by someone who knows what locals actually come in for. There’s a butcher tucked in back, a modest little banchan counter, even a shelf or two of health foods trying to do their part. Prices? About the same as the big guys. Maybe a touch more here, a touch less there—but nothing you’d complain about. One weak spot: the rice cakes. Don’t come here expecting a full spread. The tteok selection is thin, and if you’re hunting for garaetteok, forget it. This isn’t your destination for New Year’s soup prep. But if you need a few things fast, or you're chasing that one product you can't find anywhere else, this place delivers. Quietly. Reliably. No showmanship. Just a small corner of Korea carved into a strip mall—and sometimes, that’s all you need.

   This place has a decent range of groceries as well as various small stores sub letting from this place. However, staff needs to have a crash course on customer services. I was there at 7:25 pm, 35 mins before closing and was out by 7:35 pm. The one staff that was left on the floor was cleaning up and could not be less helpful. His response to us looking for a certain snack was a blunt "no" and moved away. Even when he was back at the counter, scanning the items we were buying, his face expression was showing so much disdain. I get you have lots of chores at the end of day but I didn't like getting treated like I was wasting his time. I will spend couple extra minutes to drive further to Wang mart or Tai Ping.

   The products are good, but when I tried to park into one of their bays, the employee wearing glasses and a grey shirt shooed me away for no reason, and didn’t let me park in their parking lot. I had to park on Tawa drive.

   I have to drive a bit to come here but worth it. People here are so friendly and warm. You can also find stuff that you cannot find other Korean grocery shops too (eg. some unique Korean vegetables - frozen, Korean grown shiitake mushroom). I was a bit disappointed Korean/ Asian shops near my places and decided to travel a bit further but seriously worth it!

   This is the real deal. Lots of imported foods and goods including popular Korean side dishes and pickles. Affordable and really fresh yummy ready-to-eat food as well. Pack your own bags, yall. You can do it!

   Customer service was average at best, basically ignored me and put the order through. But the store itself is great and quite large! Lots of products (including cheese filled ricecakes!!) Very exciting shopping in there.

   This used to be my go to shop for Korean and Asian groceries. Even after owners were changed and there was another bigger Korean groceries opened near by I kept going here. However when I recently visited the guy at the check out has completely changed my mind. He had ear buds in and listening to his music. Obviously there was no greeting or welcoming. He was quite rude in general and did not seem cared about his customer. I bought quote a few things that day and all the items were left on the check out counter after the scanning and all. He wouldn't move a finger to help with putting them into the shopper bags, although there was no other customer waiting behind. He actually turned away and started humming along to his own tune rather. This was very disappointing. I have been a loyal customer here even though they had relatively less choice of items compare to some other bigger shops. I will no longer be returning here and will go elsewhere where I feel valued.
